Join FCNL advocacy team member Pamela Minden in a discussion of FCNL’s work to repeal the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (2002 Iraq AUMF).
Twenty years after the shock and grief of Sept. 11, 2001, its legacy lives on in U.S. policies of perpetual warfare. U.S. presidents continue to use the military force authorizations passed to enable war in Afghanistan and Iraq to justify military action across the globe. And FCNL and Friends continue our work to repeal these authorizations, end the destruction of endless war, and work for justice and healing for those affected by these conflicts. This summer, the sustained efforts of FCNL’s lobbyists in Washington and our Advocacy Teams around the country helped Congress move closer than ever to repeal of the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (2002 Iraq AUMF). In this event, we’ll talk with advocates who have been part of this persistent, faithful grassroots movement for peace.
